Chapter 1950: Chapter 1951: Family Head, Please Wait!

Who is the most terrifying person in this world?

The one who is not arrogant in victory and not discouraged in defeat is the most terrifying!

A brief sentence, easy to say, but how difficult to do?

Just like the current Qiu Qianqiu, over the years, as long as he makes a move, there has been no failed action. Every victory is taken as expected, and he never feels joy, as ordinary as daily life.

As his subordinate, Qiao Qing always felt that he was accustomed to victory.

But now, even though Qiu Qianqiu has clearly failed, he still shows no emotional fluctuations, as if he is an outsider, and victory or defeat has nothing to do with him.

At such an age, with such a temperament, it’s truly astounding!

Think about Qiao Yihang, when facing failure, he would probably have been furious and lost his mind, right?

Born from the same root, yet the gap is so large!

Qiao Qing sincerely admired and couldn’t help but bow his head to Qiu Qianqiu: "The eldest young master is truly a celestial being, I am in awe!"

"Alright, step back." Qiu Qianqiu chuckled twice: "There’s a long way to go, a victory or defeat today is just a contest, the one who laughs last is the true winner."

Qiao Qing nodded repeatedly: "What the eldest young master said is extremely true, that Ye Xuan will definitely fall into the hands of the eldest young master eventually, it’s just a matter of time... I’ll take my leave."

Qiao Qing disappeared.

Qiu Qianqiu paid it no mind, almost playfully teasing the fierce white tiger, as if nothing had happened.

...

Traveling through the night, Ye Xuan finally followed Xiahou Yudie to the deepest part of the Hidden Dragon Mountain Range.

What appeared before Ye Xuan wasn’t an endless forest and mountains, but an ancient city nestled in the valley.

Yes, an ancient city!

From the hillside where Ye Xuan stood, the ancient city spread across at least thousands of acres, ancient-style buildings scattered everywhere, with bustling and grand streets.

"It’s truly a hidden paradise..."

Seeing such a scene, even with Ye Xuan’s experience, he couldn’t help but be amazed.

Who would dare imagine that in this bottomless mountain range, there is such a secluded ancient city?

"This is Hidden Dragon City, almost all the Hidden Dragon families reside here." Xiahou Yudie explained: "The closer a family is to the center of Hidden Dragon City, the stronger their power."

Ye Xuan nodded and casually asked, "Where is the Qiao Family?"

Xiahou Yudie: "On the outskirts of Hidden Dragon City."

Ye Xuan asked again, "Then where is your family?"

Xiahou Yudie: "Slightly closer to the center than them."

Ye Xuan smiled with interest: "No wonder you’ve tormented Qiao Family’s offspring for two years, and no one could do anything about it."

"Of course!" Xiahou Yudie raised her eyebrows proudly: "I’m not an idiot. If I didn’t look down on the Qiao Family, how could I be so excessive?"

Ye Xuan was astonished: "You know it’s excessive too?"

"What kind of nonsense are you talking? Actually, I’m a very reasonable person, okay?" Xiahou Yudie replied displeased.

Ye Xuan: "..."

I really didn’t see it!

Seeing Ye Xuan’s exaggerated expression, Xiahou Yudie really wanted to curse at him, but she didn’t dare. Intimidated, she could only change the topic: "Alright, father should be waiting for us, let’s get going."

As she spoke, Xiahou Yudie started down towards the ancient city.

Ye Xuan naturally followed.

Not long after, the two entered the ancient city.

Ye Xuan could clearly feel that in this ancient city, nature’s spiritual energy was very abundant, especially when approaching the mansions of those clans, the spiritual energy was exceptionally rich.

It was evident that in this Hidden Dragon, Gathering Spirit Stones are almost essential treasures for every household.

"Being born in such a place, even a fool could be raised into a peerless master." Ye Xuan couldn’t help but lament.

Just like a folk saying, life is very short, for most people, some are born, and from that moment on, they are someone you cannot catch up with even in a lifetime.

Then, Ye Xuan also felt that as he and Xiahou Yudie entered the city, the originally bustling street, in almost an instant, became devoid of people.

Everyone seemed to encounter a ghost, vanishing without a trace.

Ye Xuan was embarrassed: "Brother Candie, you really are annoying, aren’t you? Just a moment ago, there were at least a hundred people around here. Seeing you appear, regardless of gender, they all ran away in an instant."

"This is called being intimidating without anger!" Xiahou Yudie pouted.

A young man nearby, who didn’t have time to escape and hid, was sweating profusely, hearing Xiahou Yudie’s words and silently cursing in his heart.

Intimidating without anger, my foot! You take people back for torture at the slightest disagreement, who dares to loiter in front of you?!

Under Xiahou Yudie’s leadership, Ye Xuan walked unimpeded, not even seeing a single Hidden Dragon person along the way, as if walking through an empty city.

Thus, it didn’t take long for them to arrive in front of Xiahou Family’s mansion.

It was a grand and spacious mansion, resembling the residence of high officials and noble families in costume dramas, with the plaque at the entrance inscribed with the large characters ’Xiahou’, modest yet luxurious, restrained yet grand.

"Brother Ye Xuan!"

Before Ye Xuan could take in the surroundings, a familiar voice rang from within Xiahou Mansion.

Turning his head, he saw Xiahou Zhenshan, dressed in brocade clothes, briskly walking towards them.

Within a few strides, Xiahou Zhenshan reached Ye Xuan, his face filled with both joy and urgency: "Brother Ye Xuan, you’re finally here. If I didn’t see you today, I would have been going to the East Sea again to find you!"

"Since I said I would come, I naturally won’t be late." Ye Xuan rubbed his nose and said: "The Xiahou Family Head is a bit overly worried about me, isn’t he?"

"Brother Ye Xuan, it’s not that I’m worried, it’s just that my old mother is in critical condition!" Xiahou Zhenshan said with a troubled expression: "Last night, my old mother was at death’s door. Fortunately, I gave her a Heart-saving Pill in time, which preserved her life, but seeing her current state, I’m afraid she can only hold on for at most three more days. How can I not be anxious?"

"Alright, alright, I’m already here, aren’t I?" Ye Xuan waved his hand and said: "Take me to see your mother."

"Please, follow me!" Xiahou Zhenshan naturally couldn’t hesitate, gesturing for Ye Xuan to follow him, and quickly led the way.

The three of them entered the Xiahou Family’s mansion.

Unsurprisingly, Xiahou Mansion’s interior was also very luxurious, full of ancient charm. If anyone suddenly arrived here, they might even suspect they’ve traveled back to ancient times.

Under Xiahou Zhenshan’s guidance, despite the strict guard in the Xiahou Mansion, Ye Xuan was able to proceed without hindrance, soon reaching the deepest part of Xiahou Mansion.

But at this moment.

"Family Head, please stay!"

An unfriendly voice suddenly sounded.
